A gripping verse translation of the ancient tragedy Prometheus Bound, where a mighty titan endures cruel punishment for gifting fire to humanity—and dares to challenge the gods.

In this bold new literal verse translation, Augusta Webster brings a thunderous, dramatic voice to Aeschylus’s tale. On a stark peak, Prometheus confronts Zeus and the others, pleading for mercy while the chorus of Oceanids and the gods’ ministers watch and weigh fate. The language is taut and vivid, balancing ancient grandeur with clear, modern immediacy.

Readers will experience a fast-moving confrontation of power, pride, and pity. The battles of wits and the cost of mercy unfold as Prometheus defies tyranny, and Hermes arrives with warnings that threaten to bend the course of the gods—and of mankind.

Witness Prometheus’s defiant resolve and his enduring hope for justice.
Feel the tension as gods, heroes, and mortals collide on a rock beneath the open sky.
Explore themes of freedom, knowledge, and the price of foresight.
Experience a classical tragedy translated with clarity and poetic force.

Ideal for fans of ancient drama, literary translation, and readers seeking a fresh, accessible path into a timeless myth.
